marginal significancep = 0.07
The β-diversity using the paired Bray–Curtis similarity index indicated marginal significance between those with high compared to low HOMA-IR ( p = 0.07) ( Figure 2 B). 3.4. α- and β-Diversity Analysis for Subgroups Stratified by HOMA-IR and Different Adiposity Indices The α-diversity was significant in the subgroup with high HOMA-IR and high WHR compared to the subgroup with low HOMA-IR and low WHR only ( p = 0.02) ( Figure 3 A).
